Chapter 953
Genevieve hung up the phone abruptly.
She was sure she had shut her eyes while shooting at Charice. However, she could not stop her mind from
imagining the bullet piercing Charice's head, the blood splattering onto the bed and walls...
Feeling something rise from her stomach, she leaned over the toilet bowl and started throwing up violently to the
point that she even vomited bile.
I killed someone... I killed someone...
Her limp body slumped onto the floor. Gazing at her hands, she saw that they were trembling. It even seemed as
though she could still vaguely see the gun in her hands.
The first time I held a gun, it was Patrick who taught me how to do it. At that time, the men Marilyn hired were
chasing us down. Hence, he taught me so I could protect myself. I shot and killed someone back then, but I felt no
guilt because that person was an assassin. However, the person today was Armand's mother. Even though she
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdidn't raise him, they're still related by blood. I killed the mother of the person I love!
Genevieve felt as though she was about to go crazy. Just as a shriek was about to escape her lips, she immediately
lowered her head and bit her wrist, forcing herself to suppress it.
Her entire body shook from head to toe, and even as her teeth broke her skin and blood began to flow, she did not
feel a thing.
Feeling something vibrating next to her feet, she looked down and realized that her phone had dropped there. The
phone was still working despite its shattered screen, and Johanna was calling her at that very moment.
Genevieve picked up the phone with trembling hands and held it up to her ear. “What is it?”
Johanna could tell Genevieve's voice sounded a little hoarse, but she had no time for small talk. She said anxiously,
“Mandy has been running a fever on and off since last night. Medications and drips haven't worked, and she even
fell unconscious this morning. After a careful examination, the doctor found that she has myocarditis, and it's
serious.”
The news jolted Genevieve to her senses. She leaned against the wall for support while struggling to stand. “Why
didn't you tell me about Mandy's recurring fever?”
“I thought Armand called you...”
After learning that Amanda was unconscious, Genevieve ended the call, grabbed her personal documents, and
rushed out.
“Granddad, Mandy is running a fever. I'm going back to check on her.”
Herbert got up from the couch, thinking of heading to Jadeborough with her. However, Rebecca placed a hand on
his arm and stopped him. “Grandpa, you should stay home and rest. I'll go with Genev.”
Grabbing her bag that was on the couch, she then hurried to catch up with Genevieve.
Genevieve wanted to book a flight ticket to fly to Jadeborough. Alas, there were no flights scheduled around that
time. Seeing how anxious Genevieve was, Rebecca called her father.
Soon, a government helicopter flew to the Zeigler residence and took them to Jadeborough at once, landing on the
rooftop of General Hospital an hour later.
When Genevieve called Johanna, the latter was too distressed to speak. However, Johanna eventually managed to
say through broken sentences that she was at the hospital's emergency room.
Genevieve panicked instantly and rushed over there with Rebecca. From afar, she could see Johanna, Cooper, and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe others standing outside one of the emergency rooms.
When Johanna saw that Genevieve had returned, she rushed to hug her tightly. “Genev!”
Genevieve glanced over and saw Armand standing by the door to the emergency room with his back toward her.
His hands hung by his sides, clenched into fists so tight that the veins on the back of his hand bulged. It was clear he
was riddled with anxiousness.
Her throat felt dry as she asked Johanna, “How's Mandy? Why was she taken to the emergency room?”
“Mandy woke up an hour ago, but she suddenly started coughing up blood and complaining that she was in pain.
So, the doctor took her to the emergency room. Timothy had to pull some strings to be able to enter the
emergency room. They still haven't come out yet...” As Johanna spoke, tears started streaming down her face.
Genevieve's body swayed, and Cooper quickly held onto her to steady her. He said softly, “Don't worry. Mandy will
be fine.”
“She has to be fine...” she said while clutching Cooper's shirt tightly.
Just then, the door to the emergency room finally opened.
Armand was standing right in front of the door, and he watched as Timothy and another doctor walked out of the
room. Both of them were still wearing masks, but Armand could see the overwhelming sadness in their eyes.
Upon noticing Timothy's reddened eyes, he could not bring himself to ask anything.
